Like the novels, I really liked how the anime kept his loner and direct to the point personality, just like in the first few chapters. The "feminine" facial expressions were still intact to an extent, I wonder if it'll change slightly in the next episode where I'm sure he's be grown at that time.

I don't know if we can call a loner a guy who can't do anything without adding to his harem. I mean, it's one thing to seduce women by interacting with them in a game, especially one like SAO, but he got

Oh, that's right! I remember reading about that.

Then I guess we could say it's not opinion, but fact!

Flawfinder · 2012-07-08, 10:13

Don't really know him enough to get a good grip on him, but he's alright.

Spoiler for novel, vol 3:

I know that, I'm just talking about what he was like in the beginning of the series. Just staying in tune with what the first episode portrayed him as in the novels.

He's not alright...He's someone that's totally beyond awesome and spectacular!

He's a freaking boss that's what he is.

lansglenn · 2012-07-08, 23:07

Kirito is skilled, courageous, asocial (not anti-social), and a tiny bit reckless so far.

Edit: So I just kind of like him so far. No one truly awesome yet.

dmaxzero · 2012-07-11, 11:25

Its a very cool character, and he IS reckless and totally unreasonable at times... but he is never arrogant or imposing, he just do what he has to do.

sky black swordman · 2012-07-11, 18:39

He is also very good with words if you know what I mean.
He is also very a kind and sensitive person.

He's good with words? try blunt like a hammer.

He's also pass off as arrogant, but that's just him being recklessly confident to the level of irritating the other guy. Saying "I can do this no problem" without any worries, and completely excelling at practice.

People that knows him tends to 'get used' to the bs he keeps doing while strangers are completely baffled.

Note that he does knows his limit. So whenever he says he can do it, he REALLY can do it.

Irisu · 2012-07-12, 18:19

He's an unconscious womanizer and a walking game breaker.

LOL thats for sure on both.

He also sometimes blinded by emotions. Thats all i will say about this because it would be spoiler if I said what I am trying tot say.

Uhh, I guess that's one way of looking at him as a character..

novalysis · 2012-07-13, 05:17

He is like Negi Springfield in that manner of the unconscious charm he exerts towards woman. A very smooth talker indeed, and he is lucky he already has Asuna.

Deltaray · 2012-07-13, 09:27

Adds pretty amusing events in novels atleast

Spoiler for GGO spoiler:

Randomzx · 2012-07-13, 19:28

He's a blatant Gary Stu pandering to the wish fulfillment crowd. Seriously, he reminds me of that one NCIS episode with the girl being a champion in every MMO ever (yes the author's grasp on the nature of MMO and a player's capability and limitation is that bad).
Needless to say, naming any of his LN 'feats' count as spoiling.

As a reference, can you count up your previous account's play time for me?" "What? My, my play time?" I suddenly thought about it. The account before I converted, basically, the play time of the swordsman Kirito that went from SAO to ALO was at least around 2 years... in other words, seven hundred and 30 days multiplied by twenty-four hours. "Uhh... ten thou ..."
